About Straight No Chaser

A Look at Straight No Chaser tickets

The powerful, all-male a cappella group Straight No Chaser is an inspiring story of rising to success from modest beginnings. The a cappella troupe formed at Indiana University, one of thousands of college a cappella groups across the nation, but the only male all-vocal group at the Midwestern university. After graduating in 1996, the group members disbursed and went their respective ways. An a cappella group by the same name (now officially called 'Indiana University's Straight No Chaser') continues to perform at the university. But it was a group reunion of original Straight No Chaser members in 2006 that sparked the group's current wave of success. They gave a performance at their alma mater and posted a 1998 recording of them singing 'The 12 Days of Christmas' on YouTube. The video went viral, attracting more than 12 million hits, including from Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, who contacted group members with an offer to back a new album.

The Rest is History

That offer led to the release in 1998 of the group's first album, Holiday Spirits which became Atlantic's third-best pre-selling album ever. Following several television appearances, the album zoomed to the top seller on iTunes and Amazon. Straight No Chaser tickets will get you into a concert much like the enormously popular recording that airs on PBS stations during pledge drives. The group's dynamics, cohesiveness, intricate harmonies and innovative arrangements leave audiences begging for more. Theirs is a sound that is hard to resist.
